Hi Gangadhar,
Ketakeshwar Dewal (shrine) is a holy site in the Ketakibari area of Tezpur in the state of Assam, India, is an ancient town on the banks of the river Brahmaputra....
It is reputed to have one of the largest Shiva lingas in the world.
The actual site has two parts - one part where the actual linga is located and another part a few metres away where the original base of the linga is located. Legend has it that during a severe earthquake in the past the linga was uprooted from its base and deposited where it currently stands.
